Our goal for this project was to explore how does an LSTM network work, and try to implement it on a text document. We chose to work with the book “Peter Pan”, by J. M. Barrie. We decided to take the English version, because the English alphabet has fewer characters (only 26 versus 42 in the French one, for instance). Furthermore, the main advantage of working with an official (published) source, is that it eases the cleaning process as there won’t be spelling mistakes. This means that there is no need to put any correction function in place (as we would have to do if we were working with reviews, or comments from a website, for instance) which lets us focus on LSTMs.
